Re-arrangement of pstricks distribution on CTAN
by CTAN Announcements 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

The pstricks distribution on CTAN has long looked somewhat anomalous; a coherent set of contributed packages has built up, under graphics/pstricks/contrib, but the rest of the distribution was dotted around a number of sub-directories of graphics/pstricks. This structure was error-prone (as far as we archivists were concerned), but also, we believed, somewhat confusing to the user. We have therefore, with Herbert Voss' help, rearranged things so that the basic structure is graphics/pstricks/base -- containing the pstricks system itself, in subdirectories generic/, latex/, dvips/ and doc/ graphics/pstricks/contrib -- containing the many contributed pstricks packages (Note, this represents no change to the contrib/ structure.) Users may consult the (not very different) pstricks catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pstricks.html or browse the new directory structure of the base/ distribution at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/base/ We hope that pstricks users will find the new structure satisfactory.

On Fri, 30 Mar 2007 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a bugfix release of the caption package 3.0: - KOMA-Script variants of `parskip' and `parindent' re-added, since they still collide with the actual version of the subfig package (Sigh!) (See changelog for details.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=caption (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN package downgrade: teTeX obsolete
by Robin Fairbairns 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Thomas Esser announced that he had stopped supporting teTeX some time back. Now that a new release of TeX-live has appeared, which has the potential to be used in all applications where teTeX was previously preferred, I have (with Thomas' agreement) moved teTeX to the obsolete tree on CTAN. It will stay there for a while, as reference material. Thanks are due to Thomas for all his work on his excellent distribution, over the years. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

Location on CTAN: /dviware/dvisvgm Summary description: dvisvgm 0.5 has been released License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The current release 0.5 of dvisvgm provides improved font support including virtual fonts and MAP files. dvisvgm tries to find dvipdfm's map file(s) by default and uses it to resolve renamed fonts.

Precompiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX and Fedora Core 6/teTeX can be downloaded from the project page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/dviware/dvisvgm .
